Yes, there are several treatments available to help manage psoriasis on the face:

- Topical Steroids: Low-potency corticosteroids like over-the-counter hydrocortisone 1% ointment or prescription-strength 2.5% can reduce swelling and discoloration. Use sparingly to avoid side effects like skin thinning and pigmentation changes.
- Nonsteroidal Topicals: Options include topical calcineurin inhibitors.
- Moisturizers: Choose those free of alcohol, artificial preservatives, dyes, and fragrances. Look for ingredients like ceramides, lipids, and hyaluronic acid.
- Phototherapy: Uses UV light to slow skin cell growth, typically under a dermatologist's supervision.
- Makeup Tips: Use creams instead of gels, liquid or cream foundation, and apply with a dabbing technique. Avoid applying makeup to open lesions.

Always consult with a dermatologist to find the best treatment plan for you.
